Problems with software is with Notebook and with ALEKS. ALEKS is fixed. PowerSchool is fixed. Still problem with Notebook.



Status of Library SMARTBoard--waiting for update


Laptop cart and lab use - how can we make this equitable? Per our discussion in the spring, should we also collect data regarding people that were interested in signing up for the cart or lab, but could not due to lack of availability?
Problems--35 classes, halfday classes have trouble scheduling, Laptop cart--in the hall and only 5 or 6 are being used at a time, we have 750 students--we need double what other smaller schools
Plan -- ask Jeff, show him the data,

Display For 21st Century Learning - Jason is interested in using Tech Funds to purchase a large TV screen to display in the entry at Barrington to display student work, video, photos, lunch menu, reminders, important upcoming dates, etc. Andrea wrote a grant to supplement some of this funding.

Please review the Grant and add any suggestions:
